John 20:19-25

¹⁹Then, that same first day of the week, at evening, although the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled (for fear of the Jews), Jesus came and stood in their midst. He said to them, “Peace be with you.”

²⁰When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

²¹So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

²²When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

²³If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

²⁴Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

²⁵Therefore the other disciples were telling him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he told them, “Unless I see the imprint of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the nail prints, and put my hand into His side, I won’t believe.”
